I couldn't wait. I only waited 8 days to tell my mom and a week and a half to tell MIL. I told my DD after a few days (once I got the quant results back). We did the poem in a frame,too.
Rac, yours was such a cute idea!! The poem I used, I found on the Internet:

I do not have a face to see,
Or put inside a frame.
I do not have soft cheeks to kiss,
I don't yet have a name.
You can't yet hold my tiny hands,
Nor whisper in my ear.
It's still too soon to sing a song,
Or cuddle me so near.
But all will change come June,
That’s when they say I'm due.
I'm your new grandson or grandaughter;
I can't wait till I meet you.
All I ask between now and then
Is your patience while I grow.
I promise I'll be worth the wait,
Because of all the love we'll know.
So what I have to give you now,
Is a wish to you from me.
I cannot wait to be a part
Of this wonderful family.

The funny thing is, after my mom read it, she turned to my DD and smiled and said, that's so nice, ty for writing it for me. My DD then whispered "I don't think she gets it". Ha ha. It was even printed on paper with little footprints and handprints. She got it after some prodding.

Faith, I can't believe you can wait so long! Will your Mom be upset you waited?
